1: [Blue background. A slightly overweight white man wears a camo bullet proof vest over a black t-shirt. He has a black baseball cap on his head and wears a red bandana over his nose and mouth. He wears a menacing expression on his face.]

Guy: I’m a Proud Boy and I will never stop fighting for true manliness!

2: [Pink background. The Proud Boy now twiddles his fingers, with an abashed expression on his face. His eyes are drawn in an anime style with an anime blush across his nose and cheeks.]

Guy: But I also gotta hide my face because I’m a widdle soft-as-baby-shit chicken.

In the age of mass surveillance, it might be good to take a page from their behaviors.

Kinda crazy we're not all hiding our faces all the time.

    The pandemic sucked but I'm just glad that it's socially acceptable to wear a mask anywhere in the world now.

    Where I am the pandemic changed nothing about the acceptance of masking. Even during the pandemic I had people asking me to remove my mask.

    Uhh in much of shithole countries (America) you can get shot for wearing a covid mask. Or at least disrespected.

    I'd be publicly shamed if I wore one everywhere.

    Why would you wear one now? Risk of infection is basically zero these days, or at least no one is tracking or worrying about it anymore.

    It's still out there. If you were worried and plannimg to be in a crowd, i could see it.

    Also, if you have a flu or something and you don't mask up, I think you're a dick =p

    The only ones I've seen with masks the last few years are Asians in airports when I'm traveling, and they wore those even before covid so I'm not sure it's covid related.

    it's definitely more expected among various asian cultures. My city has a pretty large contingent of Chinese, Taiwanese, HKers, etc.

    I think it's an expectation that really SHOULD spread to everyone. Masking up when you're sick it an awesome idea.

    It's not a page from their book tho. The black bloc protesting tactic has been a main staple in leftist protests before most of these bootlickers were even born

    The difference here is that, the people participating in black bloc part of a leftist protest are doing so to protect their fellow protestors from violence while trying to not get prosecuted by the state encouraging that same violence. Meanwhile these bootlickers with their tacticool gear and face mask are only trying to protect their identity to prevent social consequences and so that they can commit violence against minorities without any consequence. The state and police are pretty much on their side so why else would you have to protect your identity if nothing else because you're a fucking bootlicking pussy

    It's pointless with current surveillance tech. Even juggalo face paint doesn't work anymore

    Idk how true that actually is and how much is demoralizing disinformation.

  • My uneerstandingiis that there's a lot of identifiable info in your eye area. I've seen no convicing evidence that this tech is good against a baseball cap, sunglasses and a balaclava covering the nose and ears. As for gait analysis, that's a whole other tangled story.

    Worth noting that what works for researchers IDing among 100 faces or what's promised in surveillance tech brochures is not necessarily reality.

    It's not pointless you just have to be creative. IR LEDs are cheap and their light is invisible to us but enough light can flood out a camera feed. You can get/build a cheap device that detects these devices' BLE signatures and further automate from there. (E.g. : use that data to populate a map, then use the map to inform other strategies/hide yourself within a certain range.)

    There's gotta be other turnkey stuff that walks the line of being offensive while not being conspicuous or doing permanent (physical) damage, I just haven't come across it yet or it is coming.

    This fight is far from over
